Bad boat crash

Today in Pattaya there was a head on boat crash just a few hundred metres off shore.

A boat with twenty Taiwanese tourists coming back from an island called Koh Larn, they were confronted head by a smaller high speed boat coming straight at them, unfortunately both boats turned the same way and a collision occured. The tourist boat sank pretty much straight away and two of the tourists sadly drowned. Two more are in a serious state, 14 others had to be treated for minor injuries.

This follows on from several watersport accidents this year, although nothing seems to have been done to curb the dangerous antics of some of the banana boat mafia. Maybe now, something will happen!
